In July & August of 1931 around 3 million people died from a flood in China. That was over a period of weeks, rather than a single day.

January 23, 1556, 830 thousand people died in an earthquake in China. That would probably represent the single bloodiest day in human history.

The firestorm created in Tokyo, Japan March 9, 1945 claimed about 97,000 lives.

For a more protracted period of time, 8:15 (local time) Monday morning, August 6th, 1945, somewhere from 120 to 140 thousand Japanese were killed by the first nuclear weapon used in war.
